COMMISSIONING.


A Pen Picture of the Great Rural PastIme.
h On Wednesday, BY invitation, we at
tended q big coFn-shucking at ]. B..
Affords.
When We arrived at Mr. Affords We
found about fifty or sixty of the nelgh-
bors and their "hands" surrounding
immense piles Of corn, and the shueks
and ears were flying in every direction.
We took a turn at the pile. and our
hands and wrists are sore yet from
tho unusual exercise.
Gathered around tho pile were farm
ers, negroes, O Justice OF the peace,
lawyer, q merchant, an editor and
u physician. Mr.. Afford made about
Is. 600 bushels of corn, besides a full
crop OF cotton, etc. Very few farmers arc
as successful rs he. His farm Is self-sus-
tairing, and he always has corn to sell.
Mrs Afford and her accomplished
daughters had a grand feast provided
tables didn't groan under the weight OF
editles. as the stereotype writer's would
| say, it was fact that they were crowded
with everything In the way OF good VIC
t9als to.be had, cooked In the best style,
and our generous host and hostess did
everything In their power to make every
body cat hearty and enjoy themselves,
| in which Iaudable undertaking they
succeeded.
There was old ham. the sort that
makes red gravy. and fresh pork and
turnips and cabbage and potatoes and
chickens and chick pie and oysters and
sardines and cheese and pies and pound
cake and pickles and preserves, world
without end.
When we left at p. II. constant access
sions were being made to the shocking
| brigade, commanded by Major Shelton,
and the work went bravely on. 1t was
| thought that the corn would all be
shocked by ~ at night.
Mr.. Affords family Is remarkable.
He has eight children, we believe, and not
single member of the family have ever
used tobacco In any form. and they are
all healthy and fine-looking. from the
| father and mother down to the youngest
child. Hartwell (Ga.) Sun.

A CONFEDERATE MATCH FACTORY,


Matches That Had to be Watched to Pre-
vent Self-Ignition.
Tho first match factory In the Con-
fedoracy, was In or rather near Atlanta.
The owner was an Atlanta man. Those
matches were sold from Richmond TO
the gulf.
Unlike some OF our recent experiments
In that line, there was no trouble about
igniting the matches. A mar did not
have 20 strike one sixteen times, and
finally have to hit 1t on the head with
hammer. or light 1t by the fire. His
main trouble was to keep the thing
from going Oft prematureiy, and the only
ei.cctuni safeguard was TO keep II In a
hottie Of water. They were the most
utterly too previous matches ever seen
In this or any other country.
The enterprise was never profitable,
because half the stock was Invariably lost
by spontaneous combustion. Wagon
loads OF matches on their way from the
factory To the city would burst into n
blaze half way on the road. soaring tho
driver and his mules out OF their senses.
Several Atlanta stores handled these
useful marvcls OF homo enterprise, but
customers were eQutioned TO tread lightly
for fear OF Earring the matches into u
CONFEDERATION, and clerks were detailed to
sit up every night to watch the trouble-
some stock.
The owner OF this match factory put
up tho stuff In which the matches wore
dipped end sold 1t for rat poison, It
certainly Killed the rnts. but the nasty
character ofthe stuff created such panic
II tho city that the industry had TO be
squelchod.
a Whitehall street merchant bought a
box Of the poison one day and carrying II
TO his store, tried to spcad dab OF 1t
on piece o. dry bread as bait for the
rats. lie gave II one spread when there
was whishi" and the whole affair
blazed up In his face, smuggling off his
whiskcrs.
A few similar experiments preIudIced
tho people against the new poison. They
said II ives too rough on the rats to burn
out their stomachs with such an ex-
plosive.
complete collection OF Atlanta's
manufactured products from go to G5
would be worth seeing. As museum
OF curlositles It would draw crowds in
any partofthe country.--[A Atlanta Consti.

One hundred million pounds of cheese
arrived In New York in 1884, and mo-

OF Welsh rarebits In that much cheese

Is 290.067 900.

there were used in Gotham As, 34y barrels

Babies In China learn to call their

papa; but ode" really means sir, while
called "a-ma, /" nearly the same as in this
country. Great families sometimes
teach their children to say ''siee-ya," for
father and sssiee-chee, for mother. Tho
tlrst means young lord, and the second
young lady" Thus ma" Is used by
nearly every nation on the globe to desig-
nate the maternal. 1t Is the zone touch

or the wetting OF the feet are the causes
that are responsible for colds.
Probably II all the cases Of pneumonia,

oyerheating OF railway cars and living
rooms would be found responsible for the
